Everyone must read these rules before
RPing.
Bahaha!! As always...here's some basic rules that
everyone should know...
Please Play Your Character - Once
you choose a character, please play that character. Don't just take
it and set it into storage.
NO GODMODING - We all hate it
and I will drop a brick on your head if you do it! For those of you
who do not know, godmoding is when a particular character is played
to be strong or invincible, even when they're not or are not suppose
to be. An example: Someone blasts you with a fireball, and the
opponent merely stands there, takes it and lives. Please, be
realistic with your characters, and let them take their bruises just
like anyone else - unless you're acting goofy. (ie: Super-deformed
or Chibi)
Keep To Your Own Character - Please do not call
the actions of another person's character. Only one person can
decide if a character is hurt, or dead, and that is the person
playing the character. THE ONLY TIME you can use another person's
characters, is after two days of their inactivity and you MUST move
the plot along. But play their character as if it was them playing
it.
RP on Crack - Gag is the FUNNIEST part of everything (and
way WAY off plot but it's good to have once in a while). We are
allowed to have gags - but keep them in GAG moments. As well,
actions in gag - STAY IN GAG - do not take them out of context and
into serious moments or cannon (things in gag - stay in gag - they
should in NO WAY effect the plot or interaction) - it's like a whole
different world.
Play it real! If you're hit, react. If
you're tiring, show it. If you're in pain (or suppose to be in pain)
make it noticeable. If you do something, tell people what you did
(OOC of course as to not ruin IC fun) and don't leave them hanging.
Don't keep pulling tricks out of your hat - it drives people mad
that they cannot defeat you (face it - someone can and WILL defeat
you). A character can't go on fighting and getting hit forever and
not start to weaken. Determine a sensible amount of time/power
before a character is weaken in a fight.
At the Door - Thou
shall leave all problems outside the RPG at the RPG door and they
are not allowed to enter the chat. If you cannot leave your problems
at the door and further more allow them to effect your character,
then you should LEAVE until you feel fit enough to be productive and
social with everyone. The RPG is here to free your mind and become
imaginative, not a funnel to vent your frustrations. (then again, if
you're sick, you may want your character to be sick...so, uhh...your
move ^^;)
Most important of all - Have Fun! We are here to
have A GOOD TIME ^_^V for everyone.
- These rules were
actually for a VoH Official RPG I was in (I got to help make them)
Of course, they even added a NEW rule because of my stupid mistake
back in my first RPin' days. (here's what was added because of my
'PET' Forte... ^^;)
We've had some trouble recently with
*pets* that are made-up characters who are played to be super
strong. When your character can't God-mode, the pet ends up doing it
for you. This is NOT OKAY. It's okay to make up a pet, but it in NO
WAY can this pet have ANY part in turning the tables in a battle, or
help in any battle unless it's non-canon based (or an emergency).
They can be used for comic relief and such (a gag character), and
pets can also be killed in RP. (thus was the fate of Clari the Cow)
^^; Like I said, I was an idiot back in 6th grade with
little knowlegde of RPing, with College students no less O.o
bah, if you're really bored, here's the offical VoH RPG
